Parents, Families, and Children: A Multicultural Perspective

There are six different types of families like single, bisexual, foster, nuclear, extended, and adoptive families. Most single parents families the children have poor school achievement and classroom conduct. the children's book "Close Your Eyes" is about a single family even though they are not humans. In  this book, a mother and son tiger talk about dreams. the mother is very encouraging of the son by letting him know that no matter where his is in his dreams his mother will always be there for him in time of need. Non-Traditional families and traditional families love the children they have no matter the circumstances they are in. As a teacher you have to put your beliefs and values aside and open up to hear what other people have to say about their beliefs and values. Everyday before a teacher walks into his or her classroom, they should leave their beliefs at the doorway and walk in the classroom with an open mind, like the mother is letting her child in the book. Teachers will have all kinds of children in their classroom and you cannot discriminate between any of them.
